Oil has made a spectacular comeback this year, rising from $60 per barrel at the beginning of the year to $77 in June. Regardless of what the price is, however, it never seems to be right.

When it’s below $50, the producers like Russia and Saudi Arabia are crying that it’s too low. When it approaches $80, the consumers, like Europe and the United States, say it’s too high.
